[Intro] C C/B Em Am F x3 [Verse 1]
Am               C               G    Am         F
One last thing I beg you please, just before you go

     Am                 C           G        Am        F
I've watched you fly on paper wings half way around the world until they

Am               C              G    Am            F
burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down

Am                 C                 G             F
Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around

                     G
To catch you falling down

                    F
And I'm looking at you now
[Chorus]
    C                      C/B    Em
And I can't tell if you're laughing

  Am                         F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye

          C                        C/B   Em
There's a train leaving town in an hour

         Am                  F
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
[Verse 2]
Am            C              G         Am       F
Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once

Am          C            G        Am      F
 That was a conversation you took nothing from so raise your

Am            C         G       Am          F
glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done

Am            C             G                     F
Just put off another day of knowing where you're from

                          G
You can catch up with yourself

       F
if you run
[Chorus]
    C                      C/B    Em
And I can't tell if you're laughing

  Am                         F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye

          C                        C/B   Em
There's a train leaving town in an hour

         Am                  F
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
[Solo] C G F G x2 [Verse 3]
            C
Is this the life that you lead?

       C/B            Em
Or the life thats led for you

     Am
Will you take the road

           F
Thats been laid out before you?

C                   C/B   Em           Am
Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight

F
(Somewhere else tonight)
[Chorus]
    C                      C/B    Em
And I can't tell if you're laughing

  Am                         F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye

          C                        C/B   Em
There's a train leaving town in an hour

         Am                  F
It's not waiting for you and neither am I

    C                      C/B    Em
And I can't tell if you're laughing

  Am                         F
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye

          C                        C/B   Em
There's a train leaving town in an hour

         Am                  F            C
It's not waiting for you and neither am I
